          I would be interested in joining in on the
          reading/discussion of Les Mots et les choses - concerning
          the language gap, I don't see the need for any rules.  let
          those who write in english do so, and let thsoe who write in
          French do so.  If we get to     where someone feels
          marginalized, let her/him speak.
          I heartily agree that we will have to go slow.  i propose a
          chapter a week, with discussion of Las Meninas to begin
          Monday (it's only 17 pages in the Vintage edition).  though
          we have different editions and translations, we can find one
          another's quotes/references if we use the subtitles to each
          chapter, followed by the edition, and page number.  For
          example; "Is not any resemblance, after all, both the most
          obvious and the most hidden of things?" (Signatures,
          Vintage, 26).
